2 STUDY AREA: REGION OF MURCIA 3 rd Dutch Spanish Water Event: Water Efficiency in Agriculture Semi-arid Mediterranean Climate. Average precipitation 320 mm. Average temperature 17ºC Irrigated area ha. Main cultivated crops: Lemon (15%), Peach (9%), lettuce (9%), Vineyards (9%), Broccoli (7%), Orange (6%), Olive (6%), Apricot (5%), Artichoke (4%) and Almond (4%) Average value of agricultural production: M ( /ha) Agriculture accounts for 81% of all water withdrawal. Thus irrigation water is the main limiting factor in terms of quantity, quality and availability Structural deficit: water demand>>> water sources (surface water, groundwater, external water transfer, recycled water and desalinated water) Implementing highly productive water-distribution and water-management methods is not an option. It is a must

3 WATER USER ASSOCIATIONS (WUAs) o The WUAs play an important role in managing water for irrigation. They are in charge of distributing water to plots within the irrigated area o The WUAs are corporations of public rights, affiliated to the basin authority o They are formed by the association of land-owners within the irrigated area. Water amounts are allocated according to the land area not to the owner o They are regulated by the Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2001 o A total of 239 CCRRs are registered in Region of Murcia 3 rd Dutch Spanish Water Event: Water Efficiency in Agriculture

4 3 rd Dutch Spanish Water Event: Water Efficiency in Agriculture MODERNISATION OF IRRIGATED DISTRICTS Since 1985, there has been a regional initiative to rehabilitate and modernize the irrigated districts, complementing national water policy (National Plan for Irrigated Districts) Main aspects: Efficient and Sustainable management Water reclaim and reuse New water resources Improve water distribution systems Efficient energy Promotion of research lines Training and agricultural advisory Introduction of new technologies

5 3 rd Dutch Spanish Water Event: Water Efficiency in Agriculture APPLICATION OF ITCs FOR IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT Decision support system (DSS) Geographic information system (GIS) Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) Application WEB Applications for smartphones

6 MAIN FEATURES OF APPLYING ICTs 3 rd Dutch Spanish Water Event: Water Efficiency in Agriculture o Know the traceability of the water o Improve water distribution efficiency o Distribution of water is equitable and transparent o Reduce consumptions and energy costs o Rapid response to fix unexpected troubleshoots o Reduce the number of field offices and water guards o Provide direct information on demand: water-allocation rules, amount of water per area, prices, actual consumption, etc. o Confidence building among partners and WUAs o Reduce conflicts between the farmers o Provides services on demand (24/7) o Improving farmers wealth and economic well-being
